Charter No. 3979 Reserve District No. I Father of Three Kings. Charles Bonaparte, father of the great Kmperor Napoleon, was a hum ble lawyer, with no very extensive practice, In the sleepy little town of Ajacclo, In the isle of Corsica, lie seems to have been a most affect Ion ate and exemplary parent, and as the father of three sons who became kings (Joseph, king of Naples and Spain;. Louis, King of Holland, and Jerome, king of Westphnlla), and a fourth who became the greatest military com mander, monarch and king-maker of modern times, he holds an unique place In history. There were thirteen children In the family. Napoleon being the second. Charles Honuparte. although hurdly well-to-do, strove to give his sons the best possible education, and had he not decided to send Napoleon (then aged ten) to the military school at Brlenne, the whole course of the world's history might have been changed.

The use of the word "lot" to des ignate a held or plot of land, Is uni versal In the United .States. It had its origin among the Puritans, and was the product of their strict adher ence to Biblical customs. ( Among the curly settlers of New England the extensive Halt-mnrslies from which the suit-hay was cut, were owned In common, every man helping himself to us much tiny as lie wished. As the population Increased this con dition could not prevail with general harmony, and it was agreed to divide the marshes equally among all tho families. This was done by the Bib lical fashion of lot and the portion which fell to each iniin was known as "his lot." In a short time the word came to apply to any piece of land, and finally reached the meaning of any great quantity. Total 5,582.58 2,107.56 Survival of Old Roman Custom. The custom of appointing promi nent citizens to act as ii guard of honor ut a greut man's funeral is the survival of an ancient Roman custom. The name "pallbearers" also descends from the old du.vs i;.- the "City of the Seven Hills." "Pall" conies from the Latin word 'palla," the long sweeping robes worn only by priests and men and women of the highest standing. When a great personage died his "palla" was thrown over his collln and a number of his distinguished friends were permitted to "bear the palla" to the grave and to act as guard of honor to the dead.
